I can say the same for Phil Hughes. You don't have to look aesthetically pleasing to score runs. Both Hughes and Elgar know how to score runs and more importantly hundreds domestically and for the their 'A' teams.

Is this CricketWeb's greatest poster in the short history of the forum?

Nah it's nothing about aesthetics, Elgar just doesn't have a technique which will hold up. Hughes didn't have a technique which could hold up and get found out. Elgar looks junk. And it's not because he's ugly on the eye, it's just he doesn't have a technique which can be successful long term in test cricket.

Lets see then. I'm not saying he will make it or whether Hughes will but a I bet they have a good chance of having decentish test careers. Whether not it happens, time will onlym tell.
